This is a users forum, if you want to close it down
then do so, but if you don't then expect any question
or comment like when will it be ported to win 3.11.  I
am a long time linux user and am so tired of RTFM and
other responses that don't give an answer and curtly
say that the questioner has "no clue, search the
archives".  If you know the answer then be polite and
give the answer and nudge the archives, if you don't,
shut the hell up.  If you are a developer and someone
asks a stupid question or a comment that you don't
like then either answer with grace or again shut up. 
If you want to act like 'it's my ball and I'll go
home' then do so.  As a developer that is your right,
I like myth, but if people are intimidated to make
comments or ask questions then this list is a waste of
bandwidth.  Grow up, or at least learn some social
skills.  I doubt that many of the rude, curt responses
I've seen would have happened if the people were in
the same room.
